Warm Weather and High Winds

Retired National Weather Service meteorologist Hugh Johnson brings us a reflection on the winter of 2024-25, and his weekly forecast. He notes that this winter was the first one since 1913-14 that the average temperature was below normal each month, and that the Capital Region recently had winds of up to 60 mph, another record-breaker. For the forecast, while temps may reach 40’s on Wednesday and 50’s on Friday, he says to not put away the snow shovels just yet. Preview for next week: he’ll discuss the impact of budget cuts expected for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Produced by Brea Barthel for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
